A crucial subversion of the misconceptions around the participation of gender diverse athletes—advocating for the inclusion of trans and nonbinary athletes across all levels of sport
The debate over the inclusion of gender diverse people in sport has become the latest battleground in the fight for basic human rights and equality. Trans and nonbinary people around the world are facing physical harm and violence—including death—at unprecedented rates. In Let Us Play, trans athlete Harrison Browne and investigative journalist Rachel Browne reveal how the opposition towards gender diverse athletes is fueled by fear and a moral panic as opposed to facts around what makes “a level playing field.”
Interweaving Harrison’s first-hand experience as a transgender athlete with exclusive accounts—from athletes, coaches, policymakers, and advocates on the front lines—Let Us Play dismantles the illusion that sports have ever been fair, that trans athletes pose a threat to women’s sports, and that gender-affirming healthcare for athletes should be prohibitive to play.
Calling for a reframing of the binaries from youth and high school levels all the way to the national leagues, Browne and Browne offer a new path forward, led by solutions proposed by gender diverse athletes themselves.

“This well-researched, trenchantly argued, and compassionately written book is a must-read for those invested in the fight against transphobia. Deftly combining memoir-style profiles of trans athletes with political analysis, the authors clearly and adeptly dismantle both the patriarchal, transphobic basis of anti-trans policies and our preconceived notions about gender, ability, and sport. A strong argument for dismantling gender segregation in sports.”—Kirkus Reviews
“I’ve always believed that the best way to combat ignorance and bigotry is through education, and Harrison Browne and Rachel Browne do just that in Let Us Play. While fear-driven narratives have clouded discussions about trans and nonbinary athletes, this book demystifies the debate by confronting the misinformation that fuels the opposition, while providing actual facts to inform your thinking. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the future of sports, gender equality, and the ongoing fight for inclusivity.”—Colin Mochrie, actor and comedian
“Much has been said about trans athletes, but not enough has been said by trans athletes. I knew those who opposed trans athletes were steeped in misguided fear, but this book gave me the language and research to articulate why that is. Trans athletes have always been here; the moral panic about them is a newly invented and stoked diversion. Let Us Play is about more than trans athletes; it’s about gender in sports and the ways in which misogyny, sexism, and rigidity are ruining the joyous experience of athleticism for everyone.”—Gabe Dunn, coauthor of I Hate Everyone But You
